Fall session could be more talk than action
The 1998 fall session of the General Assembly is poised to be brief with likely talk on gambling and early retirement for state workers, but little action on gambling. Leaders expect 18 vetoes to be quickly dealt with while debates on airports stay off the table.

Highway study says sprawl partly shapes growth not vice versa
A University of Illinois Chicago analysis funded largely by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority finds highways influence development but do not start suburban sprawl, citing growth in Orland Park four miles south of I-80. Critics argue the study is inconclusive and biased, while officials warn against halting roadbuilding to curb sprawl.
